Daniel Dulaney

Data enthusiast with 3 years of professional data science experience working for an MLB analytics team (Pittsburgh). Strong stats/programming background – I especially enjoy data visualization, building R Shiny apps, and automating a nice report. I thrive in team environments and love finding curious, collaborative, thoughtful people to do cool stuff with.
